State Water Plan

As the driest state in the nation, effective management of Nevada's water resources requires comprehensive planning. The Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR) is in the process of updating the Nevada State Water Plan, last published in 1999. The State Water Plan will be a high-level policy and planning guide that will be complementary to, and will not supersede, local and regional water resource plans. The State Water Plan aims to inform water management decisions while educating the public on water resource issues in Nevada.
